Borrowed Government Vehicles Cannot Be Used At Any Election

DAILY LAW TIPS by Onyekachi Umah,Esq.(Tip 268)

BORROWED GOVERNMENT VEHICLES CANNOT BE USED AT ANY
ELECTION.

No person in any part of Nigeria is allowed to use a borrowed
government vehicle or boat or that of any company owned by
government at any registration center or polling unit. It is only a
person who is ordinarily assigned to use a government vehicle or
boat that can use such at a registration center or polling unit.
Also note that in an emergency, an electoral officer can use even a
borrowed government vehicle or boat at a registration center or
polling unit.
The offence of use of borrowed government vehicle or boat at
registration centre or polling unit is punishable with fine of not
more than N500,000.00 and or not more than 6 months
imprisonment.

My authorities are sections 121 and 158 of the Electoral Act,
2010.
